It seems unlikely that there would be a video device available in the
US because it is illegal to copy DVDs to your HDD.  Of course, there is
software available to do it, and there are media boxes out there that
will stream/play the video, but none of it has any commercial support
in the US because no one has deep enough pockets to fight the MPAA.  If
you make a program that streams DVD video from a HDD and you make a box
that plays it, you open yourself up to charges of encouraging piracy. 
Legitimate or not, defending yourself in a suit is expensive.

Look up mythTV for streaming/playing video.  Look up ImgBurn,
DVDShrink, DVDDecrypter, etc.
